Similarly, site metallurgists use them when examining welds. Expensive,
but they tolerate abuse. For domestic use a Draper or Lidl/Aldi should
be OK.

Rechargeables can be useful (e.g. on the car) but battery life not very
good. Get a mains one for continuous use or if you don't need portability

I have a Lidl re-chargable and it's pretty good - although much larger
than a corded one. But has a poor charger - it charges fast but cooks the
batteries if left on. One use it gets quite a bit is to grind the rust out
of a stone chip on the car - using a diamond burr - before touching up .
And the batteries have a good enough life for that.

The Lidl corded one looks ok - and a lot cheaper than a Dremel. I've found
Lidl power tools fine and excellent value. And it has a three year
warranty.
